• The only reason I hadn't nominated it already is because I wasn't sure if it should be a featured article or episode... Solar Dragon ^{(Talk • Contribs.)} 08:54, 26 August 2012 (EDT)
  • I think it could be a featured episode. It's pretty dang long for a 4 minute short. All it really needs are a few more articles that need to be made, and it'll be great. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 09:50, 6 September 2012 (EDT)

#Incomplete appearance section. ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 07:55, January 2, 2014 (EST)

Comments

• @Phinbart, I'm sure most of our other featured articles have incomplete appearances sections too. It's hard to fully complete any of them due to the huge amount of media there is. Unless they stopped producing any Simpsons media and we could catch up fully, no appearance section for recurring characters, locations etc. will be fully complete.

Lyle Lanley

I have a hard time believing this one hasn't gotten any cover page recognition. Even though Lanley was a one-off character, he did play a crucial role in the episode in which he appeared, so I think his article should be considered for featured status. -- Mythigator (talk) 01:00, March 13, 2014 (EDT)

1. We have featured comic story now. WebkinzMania 16:06, 31 May 2012 (EDT)

Featuring a comic article on the main page might help draw more visitor attention to our comic content, particularly if we include a line saying something like "For more information about comics in the Simpsons universe, click here" and have it link to the Comics main page. -- Mythigator 08:46, 12 October 2012 (EDT) This needs to be a comment, not a vote. Oops. -- Mythigator 09:08, 12 October 2012 (EDT)

Comments

• Are those really all the appearances? Kinda suprises me, usually there are more background characters. Anyway, is their anything in the story that's particularily... Non-canon? Because if there isn't anything too out of the ordinary, then I don't think it needs the non-canon template. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 12:44, 5 May 2012 (EDT)
  • Blinky grows a fourth eye at the end. And yes, those are the appearances. I was a bit suprised as well. | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 12:50, 5 May 2012 (EDT)
    • That's not really that unbeleivable. You could easily make the case that there's more than one Blinky (Marge cooked him in "Two Cars in Every Garage and Three Eyes on Every Fish" for example) or that he just mutated back. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 10:03, 7 May 2012 (EDT)
      • Okay. | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 10:06, 7 May 2012 (EDT)
• What do we do with this now that we have the Comics main page and featured comic story? ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 18:04, 27 July 2012 (EDT)
  • See "Neutral" comment #2. (I didn't see your question until after I posted it.) -- Mythigator 08:48, 12 October 2012 (EDT) Never mind, it belongs here, not under Neutral, so here it is: Featuring a comic article on the main page might help draw more visitor attention to our comic content, particularly if we include a line saying something like "For more information about comics in the Simpsons universe, click here" and have it link to the Comics main page. -- Mythigator 09:08, 12 October 2012 (EDT)
